The Brand lives by the motto NO RULES, OUR GAME and this motto makes it a daring brand while well trenched in the art of fine watchmaking. Especially with the highest complication of Tourbillons, which is a part of the brand DNA. 

We were fortunate to catch up with Nicola Andreatta, CEO, Roger Dubuis in a virtual conversation. 

It was a wonderful experience traveling to the digital Roger Dubuis Booth at Watches & Wonders 2021. We were also able to discover Hyper Horology with their latest launch of the new Excalibur Single Flying Tourbillon.

Below are the Excerpts from the Interview:

Has the meaning of Luxury changed for Roger Dubuis customers during Covid-19?

I believe the desire to own luxury watches has not changed. You Live to Die, – Luxury customers should believe in this LATIN PROVERB: MEMENTO MORI and CARPE DIEM in order to enjoy indulging in Luxury products. I believe in the saying that we will all die someday. Therefore, I have realized that those who choose to live with this moto, and are willing to indulge in luxury, experience everything to the fullest, including luxury. The meaning of luxury has not changed but the desire to experience it has only grown.

Has the customer base changed for Roger Dubuis since the pandemic? Male: Female Ratio

The brand is focusing on creating art pieces for people that have individual expressions and want to live life their own way, it can be a man or a woman, both can fall in love with this brands timepieces. The brand Maison focuses on creating timepieces that can be appreciated by everyone. We no longer create exclusively for Men or Women. Anyone can indulge in any of our timepieces. The boundaries are diminishing for gender-specific watches.

Please share some information on the Urban Art Tribe.

Roger Dubuis partnered with the URBAN ART TRIBE, composed of two artistic people – Dr. Woo, Tattoo artist, and Gully, Graffiti artist. Finding kinship with those disruptive souls who dare to make a difference, the Maison partners with these world-famous urban culture artists that reflect brand values: break the rules, showcase expertise, and obsession with design.
